a future HOF QB threw an INT and lost 2 fumbles, he was clearly affected by the awful weather. Mark was not, that was a huge difference in the game.
Dirty - you are embarrassing yourself right now. That Minnesota game was played in an absolute down pour. Sanchez DID play great in the first Steelers game. Not sure what you are watching when the games are on dude...
Farve threw for 264 yards and 3 TDs. Sanchez went for 171 and 0 TDs. As usual you're trying to manipulate what few stats your monkey brain can manage to dig up. Farve played well in the bad conditions. Yeah he lost 2 fumbles due to the weather, but he also led his team to 3 TDs and he put up yardage. That is what a good QB does. Mark played his usual game manager role, and only you could sit here and act like he played a good game when he went for 171 yards on 44 attempts.
Sanchez played well in the Pitt game until he got drilled in the head with an obvious cheap shot. I'm still convinced that the stinger he suffered in the previous season was the culprit for the dead-armed delivery that plagued him for the remainder of 2012. And I'm not really confident that it won't end up being the reason he falters in 2013. Early last season I was waiting for that one precise shot to the side of the head that would begin the short-armed passes and happy feet. It happened in game two.
Favre actually threw 4 TDs w/ one being to Dwight Lowery for the GW TD. His 2 other fumbles led to 6 pts. That's 13 of our 29 pts in a 9 pt win.
I can buy the "monsoon" excuse except for the fact that those numbers were usually inline with what he usually put up on a good day. That same night Favre put up 264 yards 3 TD's 1 int.
I definitely don't think we had a fantastic offense loaded with Pro-bowlers, but you are not giving enough credit to the running game. The Jets had the number 1 running game that year if I'm not mistaken, and that right there is the QBs best friend. No other QB in the league had that that season, except for Mark Sanchez.
the INT was a game clinching INT and one of his TDs came in what appeared to be garbage time at the time. he also had 2 fumbles which resulted in 6 more pts. There are #s guys and there are winners. Mark WAS a winner now he's nothing but you guys would prefer #s guys over winners.
You are mistaken, the ground game was #1 in 2009 not 2010. It was good but far from great in 2010. The rush yardage looks great but we had over 300 in a meaningless week 178 game and a lot of Brad Smith's runs helped push that total higher. Our 2 main backs had good, not great, years and Lt was mediocre for most of it after a great first month. In 2009 the ground game and D definitely helped carry a rookie QB for parts of the season but in postseason he stepped up and played really well.
Yeah, because he was playing against the best secondary in the league and it was at a point in the game where he had to take a chance. All I can do is SMH sometimes.
Here are the game highlights: http://www.newyorkjets.com/photos-a...ghlights/17e9bd61-73a0-44e6-82e3-f85b09203c31 Feel free to check out from 1:11 on, where Sanchez misses WR's twice in the end zone. Yeah I know, it's just the rain. Except he's been missing WR's like that since he got into the league. Farve looked pretty damn good imo. Too bad we couldn't keep him, maybe we would have won a SB.
He had to "take a chance" because he was LOSING THE GAME. Did the Vikings have the lead once that game? No. So for all of those yards and TD's what did it actually get the Vikings? And he ended the game with a horrid pass that resulted in the Game Ending INT.
I do agree, even though the Steelers have a way better defense than Buffalo. Sanchez was looking decisive and on point until that hit in game 2. That seemed to turn his season around, just like that hit on Sanchez in the Broncos game in 2011. Sanchez is just soft. Hopefully we can survive this year without any blows to the head/neck. That cheap shot in the Steelers game pissed me off.
2010 was implied:grin: I wouldn't call him soft, he has taken a pounding the last 2 years and never stays down.
